AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 81 



On the first year of the experiment the plots were manured as 

 indicated in the following table, three plots in each case receiving 

 the same treatment as to fertilizers. The entire field was seeded 

 to oats, the plots receiving the same cultivation.

On the second year of the experiment the same kinds of fer- 

 tilizers were applied and again a crop of oats was raised. With the 

 oats, the second year, grass seed was sown, so that in 1888 or 

 the third year, the field was in grass and no fertilizers were used. 



The results of these three seasons of cropping are to be found 

 iu the Station Reports for the corresponding years. In 1889, the 

 fourth year of the experiment, fertilizers were applied again as in 

 the years 1886 and 1887, and the field was planted to corn; but 

 the season was such as to render it apparent that the crop would 

 not be a success, hence the land was summer tilled. 



The fifth year (1890) a crop of peas was grown on the field 

 without the further addition of fertilizers.
